Davyo Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) If changing the colour of a car, do you have to notify DVLA first or after??I can see the part on the V5 to complete but cant see guidance on notification before or after painting.

four-wheel-drive Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I would think fill the form in and post it off as soon as you can then you can have the next six weeks to paint the car it seems to take DLVC about five weeks to get around to oppening the envoelope before they even think about looking at why you posted it to them in the first place.

station Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 As others has said - just notify before you put the vehicle back on the road. Photocopy what you send to DVLA and show the Police if you get stopped. Simples ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

station Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Would you need to notify the DVLA if you camo rap your 4x4? Normal rule is that the most prominent colour is what goes on the log book. Not a clue what you'd state reference camo ? Years ago VW did some polos or golfs where each panel was a different colour - always wondered what the log book said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
